Psychological effects
Psychological effects of shrooms like in most hallucinogens
affect the senses. It causes a feeling of relaxation,
heaviness, strange light phenomena, surfaces appear to ripple, colors are
enhanced and contrasted and objects appear to melt into the environment that
surrounds them. Sounds are affected also for example music takes on a new clarity and depth.
Sometimes when sounds are heard colors appear that will be associated with a
certain sound. More attention is paid to the details in surroundings making
simple tasks seem more rewarding. Under the influence of shrooms the overall
activity in the brain is reduced, particularly in regions that are densely
connected to the sensory areas of the brain. When the brain is not influenced by
psilocybin it appears these sensory areas constrain what we see, hear and
experience this is what grounds us to reality. Psilocybin cuts the activity
allowing the senses to run free.
